Chapter 1 - The boardroom

The boardroom was silent, the air thick with anticipation. Alexander Erickson exuded an aura of authority that demanded respect. His piercing blue eyes scanned the room, locking onto each executive with a calculated intensity. As CEO of Erickson Enterprises, he was a force to be reckoned with charismatic, ambitious, and undeniably alluring.

Seated just a few feet away, Mia Jackson felt the weight of his gaze as it flickered in her direction. She was his executive assistant, a role she had embraced with determination and precision. But today was different. Today, she dared to challenge him. "With all due respect, Mr. Erickson, I believe we should reconsider the proposed merger. The risks outweigh the potential benefits," she stated, her voice steady despite the tension swirling around them.

The room erupted in murmurs, but Alexander's expression remained inscrutable. He leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "And what do you suggest we do instead, Mia?" he asked, his tone teasing yet intrigued.

Mia felt a rush of adrenaline. She was no stranger to his charm, but she had vowed to guard her heart. Having been hurt before, she refused to let any man, especially someone as captivating as Alexander, dismantle the walls she had carefully built. "I suggest we focus on strengthening our current partnerships before pursuing new ones," she replied, meeting his gaze head-on.

Alexander was shocked yet masked his emotions , as he recalled Mia's actions

Damn she hot. He could only think about her, l could not possibly be in love with her, l'm renowned playboy l've got look, money and great physique any woman be considered lucky to have me.

I was distracted from my thoughts as l heard my phone vibrate

F**k that slut won't let me be besides she's great in bed that's why l keep her around. Brittany aka the slut has been calling me nonstop but l ignored her because l need space.

I heard clicks of heels From a distance l raised my head as soon as l felt a presence and her high scented perfume l looked up to see a beautiful woman with a good figure. Brittany never makes use of her body instead of throwing it to the manwhore of boss l have -- mia

I despised women who rather rely on men for their daily needs

Bitch l know you are attracted to my man

He's mine-- Brittany

I ignored her and continued with my duties since that arrogant brat of a boss asked me to clear his schedule . Suddenly my hair was grabbed and my scalp hurts Brittany grabbed my hair , l turned her around and let my hair free with little force which landed her butt on the floor . She stood up quickly to slap me but l dodge and beat the hell out of her

My boss carried me off Brittany and asked if l was alright he was checking my arms , face and whole body.

Brittany cried out Alex your secretary beat me up. My boss paid not attention and call for security to take her out.

Alex your secretary hurt me - quote- Brittany.

Madam you need to leave immediately

Said the security. Don't fucking touch me

I will leave by myself said Brittany.

My boss took me to his office and brought out his first aid box and started taking care of my bruises on my knuckles

Damn my boss handsome when he's serious. I admired his features from his eye lashes which appears to long than a female to his nose , kissable lips and chiseled jaw. This is the first time l have been attracted to the opposite sex after my ex.

My boss called me which made me break out of my thoughts. I just stared at him isn't he supposed to be mad because l beat up his girlfriend. Mia l know there's something on your mind spill it out.

Sir, With due respect l'm not sorry for beating your girlfriend and l will submit my resignation before you sack me.

I laughed out seeing how serious and terrified she looks. Relax mia first Brittany is not my girlfriend, secondly you are not fired, is that clear - said Alex

Mia stared at her boss in awe , yes sir - said Mia

May I take my leave now sir. I nodded.

After the door closed l smiled foolishly to myself finally Brittany has been put in place. For the rest of the day I had a business meeting to attend. I couldn't stop thinking about her , damn you mia what have you done to me. Maybe because it's been a week since l have been laid. You will be the death of me.

After all l have to finish my work l don't want Mia frowning on her beautiful face. Yes her body language and non verbal cues affect me.
